T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, CHARLEs E. SAR- GENT, and For B. PEEBLEs, citizens of the United States, residents of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Card Counting and Stacking Machines, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in card counting and stacking machines, and designs to furnish a simple, practical and efficient device for counting cards, business cards, or any other thin, light sheets or plates-such as sheet metal blanks, card board, paste board and the like.

One of the objects of this invention is to furnish friction feed devices operating positivel y to advance and propel the cards.

Another object is to provide means for stacking up the counted cards and subsequently moving the stacks away from the stacking apparatus and into a convenient position for the operator to remove them.

Another object is to provide means for stacking up an equal number of cards in each stack.

Another object is to simplify and otherwise improve devices of this class whereby it may contain important advantages not before known.

To such end the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and arrangement; and in certain new combinations of parts, a description. of which will be found in the follmving specification, and the essential features of which will be more definitely pointed out in the claims appended hereto.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the drawin gs furnished herewith, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a machine embodying our improvements Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof. Fig. 3 is a view partly in side elevation and partly in vertical longitudinal section, of certain card counting and stacking mechanism. Fig. 4 is a plan view of certain parts seen in Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a plan view of certain pulleys, a shaft and frame. Fig. 6 is a detail rear elevation of certain trip mechanism. Fig. 7 is a longitudinal section, taken on line 77 Fig.2. Fig. 8 is a horizontal section taken on line 8-8 Fig. 7. Fig. 9 is a perspective view of a foot. Fig. 10 is a vertical cross section taken on line 1010- Fig. 7. Fig. 11 is a similar section taken on line 111 1 Fig. 7. Fig. 12 is a plan view of a table and certain friction rollers.

Referring to these drawings, 1 represents a platform which is supported by legs 2.

2 are two bars, that extendv parallel with the platform and are secured to the legs in any suitable manner. Pulleys 3, 4, are journaled in said bars at points immediately beyond the ends of the platform, and said pulleys are connected by a conveyor belt 5, the upper bight of which runs upon the platform 1. The roller 3, is intermittently rotated (by mechanism hereafter described) one revolution at the time so as to intermittently advance the conveyor belt 5, to shift the stacked cards out of the way of the following one.

The upper ends of the legs 2, extend across the platform in the form of a yoke 2 upon which yoke is supported the operating table 6, in which the cards are counted by mechanism, hereafter described. The table is in the form of a trough or channel having a bottom 7 and sides 8. Two bars 9, 9, (see Figs. 7,10) are secured along the side edges of table 6, which bars serve as bearings for a number of friction rollers 10, 11, 12, 13, that are rotated to advance the cards along the table. For convenience the rollers 10, 11, will be termed feedv rollers, and the rollers 12, 13 advancing rollers. The shafts or spindles 14, of said friction rollers carry pulleys, 15, 16, 17, 18, (see Figs. 1 and 12) which pulleys are belted to drive pulleys 19, 20 by belts 21, 22, the belt 21, passing around. the pulleys 17 18, 19, and the belt 22 around pulleys 15, 16, 20, all of said pulleys being driven in the same direction, that is, in a direction to advance the cards from right to left as viewed in Fig. 1. The rollers are driven at a high rate of speed and the arrangement is such that the roller 12 is driven at a higher rate of speed than the rollers 11, 10 While the roller 13 is driven at a still higher rate of speed. In the arrangement shown, the roller 10, is driven at a higher rate of speed than the roller 11, although this is not material to my invention broadly considered. The roller 10, forces the card through the space between the pulley 11, and a retaining gate, which space is sufficient to allow the card to pass freely therethrough. l/Vhen the card has passed by the roller 10, the roller 11, carries it on until the roller 1.2, has taken hold of it. The roller 11, is employed for feeding cards to the roller 12, which are not of suflicient length to reach from the roller 10, to the roller 12. The pulleys 19, 20 are mounted upon a shaft 23, which is journaled in the bars 2, and said shaft carries tight and loose pulleys 24, 25 adapted to be belted to a suitable drive pulley. Frequently these machines are placed adjacent to card punching machinery and in such cases it is customary to belt the pulleys 24, 25, directly to the fly wheel of the card punching machinery.

Over the rollers 10, 11, is placed a feed chute or hopper 26, which is preferably made up of a back piece 27 and two sides 28, the sides being screwed or otherwise secured to the flanges 8, of the table 6. Two guide bars 29 are secured to the sides 28 of the chute as at 30, and extend down upon the table 6, their lower ends being adjustably spaced apart by adjusting screws 31. An adjustable back stop 32, is secured to the table 6, by a screw 32 and nut 32 and has an inclined flange 33 upon its forward edge which serves to deflect or crowd the cards forward as they rest upon the inclined face thereof. The stop is slotted longitudinally for the set screw 32 so that it may be adjusted backward and forward to accommodate cards of different lengths. A pair of guide bars 34, are provided upon the table 6, which guide bars are clamped in place by a cross bar 35 which rests upon the rear ends of the guide bars 34, and is clamped thereupon by the set screws 32. The bars 34 are adj ustably mounted upon a rod 36, and when narrow cards are to be counted the bars 34 may be moved closer to each other and clamped in place by the bar 35 and set screw 32 Directly above the roller 11 is an adjustable gate 37 (see Fig. 7), which is arranged to hold back the cards and to permit one card at the time to pass between said. gate and the roller 11. The gate is carried by a stem 38, which is clamped in a post 39, by a set screw 40, and said. stem is moved up and down by an adjusting screw 41, that is carried by a bracket 42, and screws into a threaded opening in the end of the stem 38. As shown the bracket 42 and post 39 are supported by the chute 26. By means of this arrangement, a very minute adjustment may be had so as to admit of the passage of only one card at the time through the gate way. This adjustment is also afforded for cards of other thicknesses. The feed roller 10 is arranged to feed the bottom card through the gate way and the roller 11., advances the card to the roller 12, which passes it through the counting mechanism, after which the roller 13, throws it into a receiving reoeptaclewhere the cards are stacked up. The weight of the cards is sufficient to produce the necessary friction upon the feed roller 10, but where the cards pass through the counting devices one at the time I have provided friction rollers 43, 44, which bear upon the cards as they pass through and cooperate with the rollers 12, 13, to advance the cards. The rollers 43, 44, are journaled in oscillating arms 45 which are pivoted upon the sides 0 of the table 6, and springs 46 are provided to press the rollers 43, 44 down upon the cards.

The counting mechanism is supported upon a plate 47, secured to the table 6, and as shown consists in mechanism arranged to be actuated by the cards as they pass from the rollers 12, 43 to the rollers 13, 44. As shown, this mechanism comprises a toothed wheel 48 j ournaled upon a stud 49, and devices for retating the wheel 48 in a step by step movement. An arm 50 is pivoted upon the stud 49, and bears a spring pressed pawl 51 that engages the teeth of the wheel 48, and said arm has adjustably secured to it a leg 52, which carries upon its lower end a foot 53, beneath which the cards pass, said foot being lifted by the cards as they pass under it. In this way the Wheel 48 is advanced one step each time that a card passes by the foot. An adjustable stop 54, is provided to limit the upward movement of the arm 50, said stop being shown in the form of a screw, threaded in a lug 55. A spring 56, confined between said lug 55 and the arm 50, serves to return the arm and foot to normal position. A spring detent 57, is also provided to prevent movement of the wheel 48 while the arm 50 is being returned to normal position. The wheel 48 should be provided with as many teeth as the required number of cards in each stack.

After the cards pass through the counting mechanism they are thrown into the receiving receptacle of a stacker, when they fall one upon the other in a pile or stack. As shown this stacker consists of a stop or hood 58 which is secured to the platform 6 and extends upward as at 59, and then inclines forward so that it will catch the cards and stack them upon each other as they are thrown from the rollers 13, 44. A pair of side walls 61, are secured to the platform on either side of the stop or hood 58, and cooperate with the stop 58 to stack up the cards. The side walls are adjustably clamped upon the platform, as by screws 62, that pass through slots in the base or flange 63 of the walls 61, whereby the walls may be adjusted toward or away from each other for cards of different widths. As soon as the predetermined number of cards have been stacked upon each other in the stacker, certain m echanism operates to arrest the cards in the chute 1 30 and to throw into gear the mechanism for advancing the conveyor belt 5, and this mechanism will now he described.

The spindle 64 of the pulley 3, extends out beyond the side bar 2, and hears a pulley 65, loosely mounted upon said spindle, but frictionally connected thereto by a device comprising sleeves 66, 67 fast upon the spindle, and a spring 68 interposed between the sleeve 67 and the pulley 65. The spring acts to hold the pulley in frictional contact with the sleeve 66, and whenever the pulley 3 is permitted to turn, the rotation of the pulley 65 will consequently rotate the pulley 3. The pulley 65 is connected with a pulley 69 upon the shaft 23, by a belt 70, but inasmuch as the pulley 3, and shaft 64: are held stationary during portion of a cycle of op eration, pulley 65 must necessarily turn upon the shafts (i l during said stationaryperiod inasmuch as the shaft 23 is a constantly rotating shaft.

In order that the pulley 8 may he held stationery during the period that cards are being star-lied upon. the conveyor belt, mechanism is provided for arresting the movement of said pulley during said period,

which mechanism is controlled by the counting mechanism in such a manner that when.- ever the predetermined number of cards have passed under and actuated the foot 53, the wheel ll? will then trip the stop mechanism and allow the pulley 3 to he given one revolution. As shown. a lug 71 is secured upon the pulley 3, which lug is arranged to engage a stop 7 2, which is carried by a stop lever 73, pivoted to the plate 47, at 7 4, and arranged to he engaged by a latch or trigger 75, to hold it in position. for engagement with the lug 71.. A. bell crank lever 76 is pivoted to the bar 2, as at 77, and engages the stop lever 73 by means of a slotted arm 78, that engages a pin 7 9 on the lever, and a spring is attr wired to the other end of the lever 76 and acts to swing the slotted end of the arm 78 upward, thereby raising the stop 72 out of the path of the lug 71. Fig. 3 shows the parts in such position in full lines, and with the parts in locked position in dotted lines. The surface of the pulley 3 is partially cut away at a point adjacent to the lug 71, so as to permit of the movement of the lever 76, toward the center of the pulley.

The trigger 70 is in the form of an angle lever and is pivoted to the plate 4-7, and has an abutment or shoulder 81, that is arranged to engage the underside of the stop lever 73, to lock the stop 7 $2 in its operative position, that is in the position for engagement with the lug 71. This position of the trigger is shown in full lines in ll ig. 6. A spring 512- is provided for yieldingly holding said trigger in engagement with the stop lever, and a pin 83 that extends hack from the wheel 48, is arranged to strike an arm 84 of the trigger the stop r V 7]., allowing the pulley to he turned hy the belt and pulley connection with the drive shaft lfhe pulley being free to turn, is revolved in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 3, and in the course of one revolution. the lug strilres the lever 76, swings it against the pull of the spring, swings the arm 78 down and restores the stop 72 to operative position in the path of the log 71, the shoulder (ll on the trigger 7 5 swim no under the end of the stop lever 73 and loclzmg it against the action. of the spring 530 so that after the lug 71 again reaches the stop 72 it will he arrested therehy, and the belt 5 held stationary while another stack of cards accumulates in the stacker.

llhenM or the trigger is actuated hy the pin. 83 on the ratchet whet-l, and the conveye'r belt consequently advanced, it hecomes necessary to arrest or hold. hacl; the cards in the chute, and this is ztCCO]l1]')llSl1C(l by a foot 84 tlirat is carried by the stop lever 73 and arranged to be depressed thereby to stop the card, should one have been led rm.- dcrneath it, or if not, to ohstruct its passage until the foot 84 is again raised. Said foot comprises an adjustable stem made in two parts, cornice l together hy a screw connection, one of the parts hcing slotted so that one may he moved longitudiually of the other for-its :uliustmcnt. The

foot 84: is connected to one pnd of the stop lever by a screw S6, and hears upon its lower end two rollers 87 which inn'iinge upon the oncoming card u'hcne er the prdloy 3 is set in motion.

The operation of the rmrchine is as follows: The operator fills the chute :26 with cards A, and the roller 10 feeds tl e hottorn. one through the gatenay hetvreen the roller ll. and the gate 37. 'l his gate should. he adjusted so as to leave a space between it and the roll-er ll of about the thickness of one card, whereby only one card at the time can pass through the gate way. 'l 'he cards immediately ahovc the lowest card, will strike the gate as they are moved forward. by the i action of the roller, but as soon. as the hot-- tom card has passed through the opening, the one imn'lediatoly ahove will take its place and. pass through. The roller 1 l. passes the card under the foot 84. and on to the rollers 4. 3, 1.2 and they in turn pass it under the foot 53, when it advances the ratclmt wheel one tooth. The rollers 12, and 13, are positioned closely enough that the rollers 41-3, l2 will pass the card to the rollers 44, 133, after preferably &

which the rollers 44:, 13 throw the card into the stacker. The rollers 12, 13 are timed to revolve at a higher rate o'lspeed than the rollers 10, 11, so that the card will be passed completely by the foot 53, before the following card reaches the foot. This allows the foot to resume its original position after being raised by the card, before the following one reaches it. As each card passes under the foot 53, the ratchet wheel is advanced one step, until the pin 83 strikes the trigger 75, and releases the stop lever 7 3, whereupon the foot 84 is depressed closing up the passage to the roller 12, the pulley 3 is released from the stop 72, and is rotated by the belt 70, thus advancing the conveyer belt 5, one step and. carrying the stack, which has just accumulated, out of the stacker. As the pulley 3 approaches one complete revolution, the lug 71 strikes the lever 76, restores the stop 7 2 to operative position, whereupon the trigger is again swung into engagement with the stop lever 73, by the spring 82.

An emergency lever is pivoted to the plate 47, and is arranged to be swung into engagement with the trigger 75 so as to release the stop lever and close the passageway to the counting mechanism. The platform is of some length so that the operator may have plenty of time to remove the packs or stacks of cards from the conveyor belt before they reach the end of the platform.

By means of this construction we have been enabled to count and separate into stacks, from 300 to 600 cards per minute, without any danger of error. The gate 37 can be adjusted to accommodate cards of different thickness, the back stop 32 can be adjusted to cards of different lengths, and the guide bars 29, 34 to cards of different widths. The ratchet wheel 48 can be replaced with one of more or less number of teeth so as to separate the cards into packages or stacks of more or less cards, as desircd. In other words the apparatus is universally adjustable for all sizes of cards within a given limit and for various thickness.

We are aware that various alterations and modifications of this device are possible without departing from the spirit of our invention and we do not therefore desire to limit ourselves to the exact form shown and described.
